Building Performance Simulation Lab

Building Energy Simulation Handbook

First academic book in China talking about building performance simulation(BPS). In this book we will walk you through the development of BPS, standards both foreign and domestic, basic theories and principles, softwares and how to use them. Mainly based on eQUEST, EnergyPlus and TRNSYS, 25 cases of various building and system types will be present step by step to help you accquire basic skills of BPS, including typical simulation routines, LEED labeling, co-simulation, calibrated simulation and district load estimation... All IO files are packed within the disk attached with this book. You may also download them on our website.

Guidelines for Community Energy Planning

This book systematically introduces readers to the operator method, which can be used in different stages of urban planning. Energy planning should ideally be accompanied by urban planning, ranging from comprehensive planning and detailed planning, to the design of individual construction projects. This book discusses a range of methods and models for defining energy planning objectives; analyzing and predicting energy demand; assessing available energy resources; optimizing integrated energy systems; analyzing the cost-effectiveness of proposals; implementation management; and post-assessment. Part one focuses on energy planning in different urban planning stages, while part two provides detailed discussions of key issues related to energy planning.

State-of-the-art Technology and Advanced Application of Building Performance Modeling

This book focuses on the most recent research work, softwares and relevant applications in the field of building performance simulation. The three-part book is a guide for those who are already envolved in this industry and prepared for a deep dive in various topics more cutting-edge and theoretical. Starting with introductions to basic math model like physical model and data-driven model theoretically, the book then briefs tools to fulfill the needs of various simulation tasks, concerning BIM application, parametric design and cloud compute supports... The third and the last part of the book goes deep into some buzz topics in this field: human behaviour in building operation, simulation assisted green building labeling, load prediction on urban scale, HVAC system simulation commisssioning, demand reponse, co-simulation, object-oriented simulation and so on. Cases are studied in conjunction with each method introduced.
